Pakistan wins ODI tri-series title by defeating Sri Lanka

Pakistan secured the ODI tri-series trophy with a three-wicket victory over Sri Lanka in the final held at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Chasing a target of 326, Pakistan reached 331 for seven in 48.3 overs, marking one of the highest successful run chases in ODI final history.

Fakhar Zaman led the recovery with a brilliant 127 runs off 99 balls, ending a three-year century drought and equaling Saeed Anwar’s record of two centuries in ODI finals. Wicketkeeper-batter Saad Baig contributed 74 runs, while Arafat Minhas provided a late, aggressive 61 to seal the win.

Earlier, Sri Lanka posted 325 for eight in their 50 overs, anchored by Kamindu Mendis, who scored 131. Pavan Rathnayake added 77 to the total. For Pakistan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Salman Ali Agha, and Haris Rauf each claimed two wickets.
